How to change the pot of peacock ball

1. Time Selection

The plant needs to be repotted after about 1-2 years to provide a wider growth space and sufficient nutrient support. The best time to start is spring, when the growth rate is faster, the climate is more suitable, and recovery is easier. It is also possible in autumn, but the effect is not as good as in spring.

2. Remove the plant

Before repotting, take out the peacock ball first, pay attention to the range of movement, be gentle and don't damage the roots. Before taking it out, cut off the water for a few days to ensure that it can be removed from the pot smoothly. Hold the edge of the flowerpot with one hand, take out the peacock ball with the other hand, then shake off the soil attached to it, trim the roots, remove old and rotten roots, and ensure that the healthy roots are not damaged.

3. Prepare the potting soil

When choosing a flower pot, you need to change to a larger one that can provide space for subsequent growth and has drainage holes at the bottom. As for the potting soil, the main thing is breathability, and it also needs to ensure normal drainage. It can be prepared with leaf mold, garden soil, coarse sand, and vermiculite.

4. Planting in pots

Fill the flowerpot with suitable soil, then plant the peacock ball in it, water it with an appropriate amount of water, and place it in a place with scattered light to adapt first.
